Home & Garden Advisor
A specialized advisor for home and garden products can help customers with their living spaces.
Example Conversation:
Customer: I want to set up a small herb garden on my balcony.
Advisor: That's a wonderful idea! Growing herbs on your balcony is rewarding and practical. To help you set up the perfect herb garden, I need to know:

2. How much sunlight does your balcony get? (Full sun, partial sun, shade?)
3. Are you a beginner or do you have some gardening experience?
4. Do you have any specific herbs in mind that you'd like to grow?
Customer: I have about 1 square meter. Gets morning sun only. I'm a complete beginner. Would like to grow basil, mint, and rosemary.
Advisor: Thanks for the information! With morning sun only, you have partial sun conditions, which is actually good for many herbs. As a beginner with limited space, I'd recommend starting with a compact herb planter system.
Here are some great options for your balcony herb garden:

The tiered planter would maximize your 1 square meter space by growing vertically. Basil and mint will do well in your partial sun conditions. Rosemary prefers more sun, so place it in the sunniest spot if possible.
